MONITORAGGIO BREVETTUALE Settore Meccatronica TECNOLOGIE DI PUNTA A cura di Susanna Paoni OTTOBRE 2012 La presente pubblicazione è stata realizzata da UMBRIA INNOVAZIONE nell’ambito delle attività di cui al “Programma di animazione per lo sviluppo di progetti aziendali di innovazione nelle PMI umbre – POR FESR 2007-2012 – Asse I – Attività c1”, affidatele con Convenzione Rep. N. 3245 del 21/12/2011. UMBRIA INNOVAZIONE è un'agenzia regionale che opera con l’obiettivo di accrescere e promuovere la cultura dell’innovazione all’interno della Regione Umbria sostenendo la capacità competitiva delle piccole e medie imprese. Tra le principali attività: - Il supporto al governo regionale dell’Umbria e alle strutture tecniche ad esso collegate in materia di innovazione. - La promozione e l’integrazione fra il sistema della ricerca e il sistema produttivo. - La partecipazione diretta ai programmi di cooperazione scientifica. - La valorizzazione della cultura dell’innovazione. UMBRIA INNOVAZIONE coordina il Programma i-Start, Innovazione – Supporto Tecnico di Animazione Ricerca e Tecnologie. Il Programma i-Start si pone l’obiettivo di guidare, animare e supportare le PMI nell’intero processo dell’innovazione, dalle modalità di sviluppo di idee innovative fino alla valutazione, implementazione, tutela e proposta sul mercato di prodotti e servizi innovativi. PREMESSA Prima ancora di intraprendere un’attività inventiva, i ricercatori sono soliti documentarsi su possibili soluzioni tecniche già sviluppate: il monitoraggio brevettuale, quale ricerca sullo stato della tecnica, consente loro di acquisire una base di informazioni iniziali senza duplicare sforzi di ricerca già compiuti da altri e di evitare che i frutti del loro ingegno siano limitati in originalità, da tecniche preesistenti o che addirittura risultino già brevettati da altri. I brevetti sono una fonte di informazione tecnica di prim’ordine completamente accessibile al pubblico e di grande valore per tutte le fasi dell’attività aziendale, dalla ricerca allo sviluppo, dalla produzione alla commercializzazione. Essi sono l’espressione del potenziale innovativo di un dato settore o di una particolare azienda. I brevetti forniscono una descrizione dettagliata dell’invenzione, del suo funzionamento, illustrano gli effetti della tecnologia e indicano la soluzione al problema tecnico di partenza. In essi è illustrato lo stato dell’arte tecnologico con espresso riferimento alle soluzioni preesistenti adottate dalla concorrenza. I brevetti ci consentono quindi di valutare lo stato della tecnica e di individuare i problemi connessi alle tecnologie note; ci forniscono indicazioni sui settori di applicazione, esempi di applicazioni industriali e campi di intervento e ci illustrano le possibili alternative tecnologiche. 0 IL MONITORAGGIO BREVETTUALE Il monitoraggio brevettuale ha diverse funzioni. Ci fornisce informazioni aggiornate sui brevetti più recenti. Ci permette di accertare lo stato della tecnica, l’evoluzione tecnologica e il trend di mercato di un dato settore e quindi di orientare al meglio ricerche, studi e strategie aziendali. Ci consente di conoscere e monitorare il potenziale innovativo e le strategie della concorrenza Facilita la nascita di relazioni e/o collaborazioni industriali nazionali ed internazionali, attraverso accordi di trasferimento tecnologico, partnership, licenze… Il monitoraggio brevettuale è un’ottima fonte di informazioni aggiornate: i brevetti rappresentano un vasto e prezioso bacino di documentazione tecnica il cui numero cresce molto rapidamente. Ad oggi abbiamo più di 50 milioni di brevetti internazionali, ai quali, ogni anno, se ne aggiungono più di 900.000. Se si considera che ciascun brevetto viene reso pubblico ed accessibile dopo 18 mesi dal deposito, ne risulta che l’informazione brevettuale, oltre ad essere abbondante e dettagliata, è anche aggiornata. Il monitoraggio brevettuale è particolarmente utile per il reperimento di informazioni su soluzioni tecniche: infatti, come previsto dalla legge, il brevetto deve contenere la descrizione del problema, le soluzioni ed i vantaggi tecnici ed economici. Il brevetto fornisce quindi una descrizione dettagliata del settore tecnologico interessato, delle sue carenze, delle problematiche riscontrate e delle migliorie conseguibili con la soluzione depositata. Inoltre, una sua sezione è specificatamente dedicata all’illustrazione dello stato dell’arte tecnologico più recente. Valutando soluzioni diverse a problemi analoghi si possono quindi ricostruire i trend tecnologici in atto nel singolo settore e dedurre indicazioni su quelli futuri. Infine, visto che i brevetti vengono pubblicati e resi accessibili al pubblico soltanto dopo 18 mesi dalla data del deposito, può accadere che a tale data il prodotto non sia ancora completamente sviluppato o che non sia stato ancora lanciato sul mercato. Pertanto, analizzando la 1 documentazione brevettuale è possibile conoscere le tendenze dei prodotti con un significativo anticipo. La lettura di un monitoraggio brevettuale consente agli addetti ai lavori − di risparmiare tempo e costi evitando di cercare informazioni già disponibili − di evitare ricerche di paragone con i propri prodotti − di valutare la possibilità di sfruttare soluzioni già esistenti o di utilizzarle come punto di partenza per eventuali modifiche od evoluzioni Lo sfruttamento delle informazioni sullo stato della tecnica, ricavabili dal monitoraggio brevettuale, consente da un lato, di ridurre tempi e costi di sviluppo e produzione, dall’altro, di ridurre il rischio di investire in tecnologie già esistenti e quindi non più tutelabili. Il monitoraggio brevettuale fornisce chiare indicazioni sull’attività brevettuale e sulle competenze di concorrenti, partner o futuri clienti e ci offre l’opportunità di individuare i soggetti con le maggiori competenze tecnologiche a livello internazionale in un dato settore e di avviare con loro rapporti di collaborazione in attività di R&S, accordi di trasferimento tecnologico ed industriali. Ci fornisce anche gli strumenti per individuare eventuali licenzianti, o aziende interessate all’acquisto dei nostro brevetto o al loro sfruttamento (licenziatari) o addirittura partner con cui siglare accordi di cross licensing. 2 LA METODOLOGIA Il presente report è stato realizzato con l’obiettivo di fornire agli addetti ai lavori una rassegna dei più significativi brevetti internazionali registrati negli ultimi 3 anni nel settore della MECCATRONICA. La ricerca dei brevetti è stata effettuata nei principali database brevettuali internazionali secondo il criterio delle parole-chiave. La metodologia adottata per la selezione dei brevetti e per la composizione della rassegna, si è basata essenzialmente sui seguenti elementi: prossimità temporale: sono stati presi in esame soltanto i brevetti pubblicati successivamente al 1° gennaio 2010; qualità del brevetto: sono stati inclusi nella rassegna soltanto i brevetti più rilevanti dal punto di vista tecnico-scientifico; applicabilità del brevetto: sono stati selezionati soltanto i brevetti che, a nostro giudizio, hanno maggiori potenzialità di applicazione nel mercato di riferimento. Nell’ultima sezione del presente report abbiamo inserito una tabella di sintesi che riporta i dati salienti relativi ai brevetti inseriti, in base al loro ordine di inserimento. Per ciascuno dei brevetti inseriti nel report è disponibile copia originale. La rassegna che segue, seppur significativa, non può essere considerata esaustiva. 3 LA MECCATRONICA La meccatronica è una disciplina ingegneristica innovativa che integra tecnologie diverse, che combina le opportunità offerte da meccanica, elettronica ed informatica, per mettere a punto soluzioni capaci di conferire elevate prestazioni dinamiche e flessibilità operativa agli impianti di produzione. E’ un processo “evolutivo” delle tecniche di progettazione e controllo moderne. Lo sviluppo dapprima di microcomputer, poi di computer embedded ed infine di microcontrollori ha infatti rivoluzionato il modo di intendere le logiche di controllo consentendo ad un tempo di concepire e realizzare schemi di controllo molto complessi che qualche decennio fa venivano indicati solo come modelli teorici matematici che andavano poi semplificati per poter giungere ad una implementazione fisica. L’evoluzione della meccatronica è fortemente accelerata da un lato dai notevoli progressi dell’elettronica digitale (miniaturizzazione dei componenti) e dell’informatica, dall’altro dalla disponibilità di materiali innovativi e dalla possibilità di realizzare lavorazioni più raffinate e precise sul substrato meccanico. Molti oggetti di uso quotidiano - come le automobili, gli aerei, gli elettrodomestici - contengono sistemi e componenti meccatronici, cioè dispositivi che uniscono l’attuazione meccanica ed il controllo elettronico. Ne sono esempi concreti i sistemi di controllo della stabilità e della frenatura dei veicoli, oppure il sistema di climatizzazione che mantiene costante la temperatura in un dato ambiente. Si tratta quindi di un settore decisivo per lo sviluppo dell’industria umbra in quanto produce innovazione che trasferisce a moltissimi altri settori. I principali settori applicativi della meccatronica sono la robotica, le macchine automatiche (per assemblaggio, packaging ecc.) e l'industria automobilistica. Per entrare nel dettaglio: 4 nei sistemi di produzione industriale (macchine di assemblaggio e logistica, controllo componenti e distribuzione), l'introduzione della meccatronica ha permesso la realizzazione integrata di nuovi servizi per la produzione e la logistica fino a ieri inimmaginabili. Dal just-in-time giapponese, modello per la produzione rapida degli autoveicoli, oggi si parla di logistica del territorio in altri termini, dove i magazzini di concentramento sono completamente gestiti da logiche automatiche e AGV che raccolgono e distribuiscono i componenti nella fabbrica; nei sistemi di lavorazione di precisione la meccatronica consente di ottenere lavorazioni di precisione tramite le macchine a controllo numerico (CNC), in grado di modellare precise geometrie inseguendo traiettorie definite numericamente e non tramite meccanismi; nella veicolistica, sistemi meccatronico sono sati implementati non soltanto nelle automobili ma in tutti i dispositivi di trasporto che possono essere azionati e/o sorvegliati elettricamente. nei sistemi elettronici ad alta specializzazione: robot, microscopi elettronici, domotica e automatizzazione di dispositivi per la casa, dispositivi per l'intrattenimento, interfacce per ambienti virtuali, simulatori, c’è un preponderante impiego della meccatronica; la Comunità Europea stima che il prossimo decennio il volume di mercato di questo settore aumenterà fino a diventare uno dei principali business. nella micromeccatronica che rappresenta la sfida del futuro. Le nuove tecnologie MEMS (Micro Electronical Mechanic Systems) hanno studiato la messa a punto di processi per la realizzazione di dispositivi meccanici miniaturizzati dove elettronica di controllo è integrata su un medesimo chip. Si tratta quindi di dispositivi automatici dalle dimensioni miniaturizzate che pur non servendo come strumenti di potenza saranno in grado di realizzare centinaia di servici: biomedicina, ispezione, pulizia,... 5 LE AREE DI APPLICAZIONE ESAMINATE Nel presente report ci limiteremo ad una panoramica sulle applicazioni di motion control e su quelle del settore automobilistico. Il motion control Uno dei principali settori applicativi del motion control è quello delle macchine automatiche, ad esempio nel settore del packaging. La nascita di macchine basate sul motion control (c.d. macchine meccatroniche) può essere considerata come il punto d'arrivo di un'evoluzione iniziata nel secolo scorso, quando lo stato delle tecnologie rendeva conveniente usare un unico motore elettrico per muovere addirittura un intero gruppo di macchine. Ciò avveniva ad esempio nelle fabbriche, dove decine di macchine utensili erano mosse da pulegge collegate ad alberi che attraversavano il soffitto. Un altro possibile esempio è la rete dei vecchi “cable car” di San Francisco, tutti mossi da un unico motore centralizzato: la distribuzione del moto è affidata, in questo caso, ad un cavo metallico che scorre in un solco tra le rotaie, cavo al quale le singole carrozze si aggrappano per farsi trascinare. Le soluzioni di motion control si collocano all'estremo opposto di questa dimensione evolutiva, poiché presuppongono l'impiego di un motore diverso per ogni singolo organo meccanico in movimento. Alla base di questa evoluzione stanno ovviamente i progressi dell'elettronica. Grazie alle sempre maggiori conoscenze ottenute nel campo della meccatronica le tecnologie e i dispositivi per il controllo del movimento (motion control), applicati a un sempre più ampio panorama tecnologico (meccanica, elettronica, acquisizione dati, comunicazione, ecc.), hanno fatto registrare, negli ultimi anni, uno sviluppo molto significativo e si confermano come uno dei più interessanti comparti del settore automazione industriale. 6 La tecnologia del motion control consente di realizzare macchine in cui il coordinamento tra gli organi in movimento è ottenuto per via elettronica anziché tramite i tradizionali sistemi meccanici di distribuzione del moto (alberi, cinghie, ruote dentate, camme ecc.). La possibilità di governare in modo sempre più rapido, affidabile e preciso il movimento di componenti e sistemi (motori, azionamenti, organi di trasmissione, sistemi di posizionamento e controllo, sensori ecc.) assume infatti primaria rilevanza sul piano tecnico, poiché influenza fortemente le prestazioni tecnologiche delle macchine industriali. Gli standard software per il motion control Un aspetto particolarmente interessante delle tecnologie di motion control è la messa a punto di standard per la realizzazione del relativo software, ad esempio nelle applicazioni riguardanti le macchine per il packaging. L'incidenza del software sul costo totale di queste macchine è in continuo aumento soprattutto a causa della richiesta di maggiore flessibilità da parte degli utilizzatori (industrie produttrici di alimentari, bevande, farmaci, articoli per la cura della persona ecc.). Questa esigenza è determinata dall'evoluzione del mercato dei prodotti di largo consumo, caratterizzati da un breve ciclo di vita e da un elevato numero di varianti che rende necessario lo sviluppo, in tempi brevi, di molteplici versioni diverse della stessa macchina confezionatrice. La crescente pressione sul fronte del software di motion control può essere contenuta soltanto ricorrendo a soluzioni basate su standard industriali che facilitino lo sviluppo e il riutilizzo dei programmi. La standardizzazione nel campo del software per motion control viene perseguita dagli organismi internazionali PLCopen e Omac. PLCopen si pone l'obiettivo di estendere al motion control i vantaggi della standardizzazione nel quadro della norma IEC 61131-3, al fine di rendere il software indipendente dall'hardware e facilitare il riuso di programmi esistenti. Per raggiungere questo risultato l'organismo ha definito 7 una serie di “blocchi funzionali”, ciascuno dei quali rappresenta una delle funzioni elementari che possono essere richieste ad un asse. Ad esempio, il blocco MC_MoveAbsolute serve a portare l'asse in una determinata posizione assoluta; MC_MoveRelative comanda il movimento di una determinata distanza rispetto alla posizione al momento dell'esecuzione; MC_PositionProfile comanda uno specifico profilo di movimento posizione-tempo, ecc. Ogni blocco appare al programmatore come una “scatola nera” dotata di ingressi e uscite; il codice contenuto al suo interno è “incapsulato” e quindi nascosto. Più blocchi funzionali diversi possono essere collegati tra loro per realizzare funzioni complesse, ad esempio (con riferimento a un film plastico) per descrivere operazioni di avvolgimento, svolgimento e taglio. Lo standard comprende numerosi blocchi funzionali specifici per le funzioni di motion control. Esistono inoltre altri blocchi rivolti al coordinamento tra più assi; ad esempio CamIn crea una camma elettrica stabilendo una relazione tra un asse master e un asse slave; GearIn comanda un determinato rapporto di velocità tra asse master e asse slave ecc. Un ulteriore gruppo di blocchi, infine, è dedicato espressamente alle funzioni legate alla sicurezza della macchina. Lo sviluppo di macchine complesse richiede, oltre all'impiego dei blocchi funzionali predisposti da PLCopen, anche altri blocchi definiti dall'utilizzatore, il tutto nell'ambito di una programmazione object oriented. Alcune delle soluzioni presenti sul mercato sono basate su una struttura comprendente tre livelli principali: 1. uno strato di firmware, al quale si collocano i blocchi funzionali di PLCopen; 2. uno strato di middleware, che comprende i blocchi funzionali definiti dall'utilizzatore; 3. infine, uno strato di software vero e proprio, nel quale trovano spazio il programma applicativo e il modello degli stati definito dallo standard PackML di Omac. Tradizionalmente la programmazione object oriented non viene utilizzata per i Plc, ma questo approccio si rende oggi necessario per facilitare il riutilizzo di software esistente. 8 Un “oggetto” è un blocco funzionale definito dall'utilizzatore, ad esempio “general axis management”, che riunisce tutte le funzioni di un asse. Per ciascuna funzione, questo blocco effettua “chiamate” ai blocchi funzionali PLCopen che si trovano a livello inferiore (firmware). L'organismo Omac ha messo a punto due principali soluzioni rivolte al settore delle macchine di packaging: PackTags e PackML, ora compresi negli standard statunitensi Ansi/ISA-88. PackTags stabilisce una terminologia convenzionale unificata e strutture di dati standardizzate per facilitare la distribuzione e l'integrazione di programmi di automazione, mentre PackML è un modello standardizzato degli stati della macchina che facilita il coordinamento tra più macchine diverse e semplifica lo sviluppo di sistemi di visualizzazione e raccolta dati. L'integrazione degli standard PackML e PackTags nelle soluzioni di automazione rende meno onerosa la sincronizzazione fra i Plc delle linee coordinate, consentendo velocità più elevate e riducendo la necessità di convogliatori e/o accumulatori di bufferizzazione. Gli standard Omac, inoltre, facilitano il monitoraggio delle prestazioni delle macchine. La meccatronica nel comparto automobilistico Rispetto agli anni cinquanta dove la presenza di elettronica a bordo non era richiesta, via via nel corso degli ultimi trent'anni un numero sempre più considerevole di componenti elettroniche sono state integrate. L'uso di queste componenti permette infatti non solo di raggiungere prestazioni sempre più spinte e vicine ai limiti “fisici” del veicolo, ma anche di verificare il corretto funzionamento delle parti senza richiedere di aprire i componenti per comprendere cosa non funzioni dentro al meccanismo. L'elettronica si è fatta strada nel settore automobilistico inizialmente attraverso l'adozione di dispositivi in grado di controllare in maniera completamente elettronica i meccanismi elettrici interni del motore: lo spinterogeno si è col tempo trasformato da un albero di distribuzione meccanico ad un sistema elettronico di rilevamento della posizione e chiusura dei circuiti relativi in grado di provocare l'accensione delle miscele nei cilindri. 9 Anche il carburatore, l'elemento meccanico in grado di miscelare aria e benzina e di controllare il flusso di miscela da mandare ai cilindri, è stato pian piano sostituito dall’iniezione elettronica. L'iniezione elettronica ha dimostrato ben presto un progresso notevole rispetto l'approccio classico, la riduzione di parti meccaniche in movimento, soggette ad usura, depositi, vibrazioni, ha ridotto notevolmente sia i guasti dei dispositivi che semplificato le tecniche di manutenzione. L'iniezione elettronica era realizzata tramite una serie di sensori di posizione per l'albero a camme, i pistoni, il flusso d'aria e l'acceleratore, mentre un microcontrollore dedicato determina il tempo di apertura delle valvole. La meccatronica prese successivamente un ruolo fondamentale nella progettazione automobilistica. I primi sistemi che ne risultarono furono i sistemi per il controllo elettronico della frenata (Automatic Braking System, ABS) ed il sistema per il controllo elettronico della accelerazione (Traction Control system, TCS). Il primo in grado di relazionare le velocità di relazione dei pneumatici con l'accelerazione rilevata da se-sori a bordo e quindi in grado di modulare la pressione del circuito idraulico in modo da evitare il bloccaggio delle ruote, il secondo, introdotto all’inizio degli anni 90, in maniera opposta regolava l'iniezione elettronica per evitare lo slittamento delle gomme durante fasi di accelerazione troppo spinta. Di più recente introduzione è il controllo dinamico del veicolo (VDC) in grado di controllare anche la rotazione angolare e le conseguenti accelerazioni centrifughe. Anche nelle automobili quindi, come nelle macchine automatiche, l'elettronica può consentire una significativa semplificazione della meccanica, con vantaggi in termini di ingombro, peso e costo. Rientrano in questa categoria le tecnologie drive by wire, che in futuro consentiranno la realizzazione di un posto guida basato su comandi elettronici paragonabili a quelli di un videogioco o di un simulatore. Il volante e i pedali saranno in realtà trasduttori di posizione (encoder) incaricati di rilevare le intenzioni del guidatore e trasmetterla via cavo ai sistemi elettronici. Nel caso dello sterzo (steer by wire) saranno eliminati il piantone del volante e i circuiti idraulici; la deviazione delle ruote sterzanti sarà affidata a un motore elettrico. 10 Nel caso dei freni (brake by wire) verranno eliminati i circuiti idraulici comandati dal pedale. Attualmente le implementazioni pratiche di questa filosofia riguardano solo il pedale dell'acceleratore; in questo caso l'eliminazione del tradizionale cavo metallico consente ai sistema di muovere la valvola a farfalla per compensare le variazioni di carico anche se il piede sul pedale rimane fermo (Electronic Throttle Control). Rientra nel campo delle applicazioni meccatroniche anche la realizzazione di sistemi che azionano il cambio di velocità, come l'Automated Manual Transmission di Magneti Marelli, noto anche come Selespeed, derivato dalla Formula 1. Il dispositivo opera sul cambio manuale dell'automobile nello stesso modo in cui agisce il guidatore: apre e chiude la frizione, innesta e disinnesta le marce e, quando necessario, comanda anche la selezione del cambio (modalità di cambio marcia automatico o sequenziale). Cuore del sistema di comando è una centralina elettronica di controllo della trasmissione che gestisce i cambi marcia sulla base delle richieste del guidatore e delle condizioni operative del veicolo. L'ultima generazione dell'Amt è stata battezzata da Magneti Marelli “cambio meccatronico” perché integra per la prima volta in un unico kit la parte elettronica di comando e la parte idraulica di attuazione della trasmissione. Un esempio estremo delle semplificazioni meccaniche ottenibili tramite l'elettronica è rappresentato dai futuri motori senza camme, nei quali l'apertura delle valvole di aspirazione e scarico non sarà più comandata dalle tradizionali camme meccaniche bensì da attuatori elettrici comandati elettronicamente. Questa particolare applicazione di motion control consentirà di eliminare non solo l'albero a camme, ma anche il motorino d'avviamento, poiché diverrà possibile innescare lo scoppio nei cilindri senza muovere l'albero motore. Una delle società maggiormente impegnate nello sviluppo di motori senza camme è la francese Valeo. 11 LA MECCATRONICA IN ITALIA Attualmente, in Italia, la meccatronica è al centro di numerose iniziative che coinvolgono associazioni imprenditoriali, università e centri di ricerca pubblici, con finalità legate perlopiù allo sviluppo di distretti economici di rilevanza regionale o provinciale. A Reggio Emilia, ad esempio, è stato creato il “Club Meccatronica”, promosso da un gruppo di imprenditori della Associazione Industriali locale. Sempre a Reggio Emilia sorge il laboratorio di ricerca regionale Mectron, attivo appunto nel campo della meccatronica. A Bari è nato il Distretto Pugliese della Meccatronica (Medis), per iniziativa di Regione Puglia, Arti (Agenzia Regionale per la Tecnologia e l'Innovazione), Confindustria Bari, Università e Politecnico di Bari e varie aziende operanti in zona (Bosch, Centro Ricerche Fiat, Getrag, Magneti Marelli). In Umbria è stato costituito il consorzio Pomec (Polo Meccatronico dell'Umbria), un'aggregazione d'imprese, università e laboratori privati di ricerca applicata. Oltre all'università di Perugia, il Polo Meccatronico comprende numerose aziende umbre e la multinazionale Rexroth (gruppo Bosch). A Vicenza è nato il Distretto Formativo Meccatronica per iniziativa della locale Confindustria, del Dipartimento di Meccatronica dell'università di Vicenza e di altri soggetti. A Torino la Regione Piemonte ha dato vita a Mesap (Polo di Innovazione della Meccatronica e dei Sistemi Avanzati di Produzione), iniziativa che coinvolge un centinaio di soggetti, tra PMI, grandi imprese e organismi di ricerca. Nel luglio scorso, il Mesap, insieme ad altri tre poli d’innovazione europei (due francesi, Thésame di Annecy e Viaméca di Saint-Etienne ed uno tedesco, il Kompetenznetzwerk Mechatronik BW. e V. di Göppingen), ha costituito il primo cluster transfrontaliero dedicato alla meccatronica e ai sistemi avanzati di produzione che rappresenterà il primo passo per creare uno strumento per la partecipazione ai bandi europei per i nuovi fondi strutturali relativi al periodo 2014-2020. Oltre ai progetti comuni da presentare a Bruxelles G, l'accordo prevede anche "attività di trasferimento e scouting tecnologico intercluster", "scambi di esperienze e best practices", "condivisione di strumenti e metodi". Tra le iniziative in cantiere vi sono anche "azioni di intelligence competitivo su quattro aree tecnologiche di interesse comune": automazione e robotica, sistemi di controllo, progettazione e modellazione, prototipazione, 12 tecnologie di processo e trattamenti superficiali. Tutto riguarderà i settori "core" dell'automazione e robotica, dei sistemi manifatturieri e delle macchine utensili. Anche in Sicilia, infine, esiste un Distretto della Meccatronica a cui aderiscono numerose aziende. I DISTRETTI DELLA MECCATRONICA TORINO WIRELESS METADISTRETTO DELLA MECCATRONICA E DELLE TECNOLOGIE MECCANICHE INNOVATIVE di HI-MECH - DISTRETTO PER L'ALTA TECNOLOGIA MECCANICA DISTRETTO TECNOLOGICO DELL'UMBRIA DISTRETTO MECCATRONICO PUGLIESE 757 Aziende 30 Progetti DISTRETTO PRODUTTIVO DELLA MECCATRONICA 13 IL PANORAMA Il trend del settore in Italia si sta mostrando decisamente positivo: sul fronte dell'automazione industriale, secondo gli operatori del settore, si è registrato un buon andamento nel 2011, con una stima di crescita che, con le dovute cautele, dovrebbe attestarsi nel corrente anno intorno al 15%. Il mercato nazionale, soprattutto grazie al buon andamento delle esportazioni da parte di OEM e costruttori di impianti, dovrebbe riguadagnare le posizioni ante crisi, attestandosi su valori prossimi al 2008. Secondo Federmacchine le imprese della meccatronica italiana, nel corso del 2012, hanno individuato come principali mercati di sbocco quelli esteri; la maggioranza di esse esporta fino all’80% della produzione complessiva in Cina, negli Usa, ed in America Latina. L’Italia, d’altro canto, è un mercato sostanzialmente fermo da più di due anni, con un'industria nazionale che rischia ormai l'obsolescenza (grave) dei suoi mezzi di produzione. Il mercato globale richiede però alle aziende crescenti livelli di complessità, servizi aggiuntivi e flessibili e sempre più tecnologie di punta, ma i margini tendono inevitabilmente a ridursi; le aziende della meccatronica italiana devono perciò, inevitabilmente, farsi largo tra agguerriti concorrenti tedeschi o statunitensi, con prodotti sempre più innovativi, flessibili e dal costo contenuto. Le tecnologie meccatroniche europee sono le più avanzate al mondo. Potenze industriali come la Germania, la Francia, l’Italia e altri paesi innovativi come la Svizzera, i Paesi Bassi, la Svezia, la Finlandia, il Regno Unito e l'Austria, hanno un prezioso patrimonio tecnologico-brevettuale, ed enormi capacità innovative e tecnologiche. I players della meccatronica europea sono in cima alle classifiche mondiali per reddito e quota di mercato, in particolare nel settore degli apparati per l’automazione industriale – in primis in quelli destinati al comparto del packaging – nell’industria automobilistica, nell’industria elettromedicale e dell’automazione in genere, anche se la loro posizione comincia ad essere minacciata da nuovi 14 paesi come la Cina, la Corea e l’India, che possono contare su maggiori disponibilità finanziare e costi per attività di R&S più contenuti. Le imprese europee, per proteggere le loro quote di mercato devono accelerare i processi d’innovazione e cogliere prontamente le esigenze di mercato emergenti. La costituzione di distretti o di cluster della meccatronica, è uno degli elementi chiave per la competitività delle imprese, perché permette ai partecipanti di condividere le abilità tecnologiche, di unire e quindi accrescere le risorse finanziare da dedicare alla R&S, di accelerare i processi dell’innovazione, di sfruttare al meglio le opportunità offerte dal mercato attraverso attività di trasferimento tecnologico e commercializzazione di tecnologie o brevetti. 15 MONITORAGGIO BREVETTUALE Nelle pagine che seguono abbiamo riportato delle schede sintetiche relative ai brevetti selezionati secondo i criteri indicati in precedenza.
